Wedidit Collective member D33J's remixed Drake in the past; for his take on new single "Started From the Bottom", he ignores the lyrics, instead using Aubrey’s incantatory monotone as a beat to build on top of. The boasts get lost inside an overgrowth of swirling, fluorescent sound, an organic outgrowth of synths anesthetizing the anxious energy of the original. The video below echoes the shift, blurring Drake into oblivion while providing a greener, friendlier frame.
